Columbus News Quotes Gonzalo Mon

A blog post by Gonzalo Mon on supplier due-diligence for ​“Made in the USA” claims is referenced in an article in the Columbus News.

FTC rule prohibits companies from stating or implying that a product is made in the USA unless: (1) the final assembly or processing of the product occurs in the USA; (2) all significant processing that goes into the product occurs in the USA; and (3) all or virtually all components are made or sourced in the USA. It can be a challenge to figure out whether a product you make meets that standard, especially when you get components from suppliers.

In the post, Mon details how a new FTC closing letter sheds some light on how companies should protect themselves when claiming a product is ​“made in the USA.”
